Paul said Congress can delay fiscal decisions in January.

“They can postpone big decisions in January and yet that still does not remove the uncertainty,” Paul said. “Uncertainty is a major cause of the inability for the market to get moving again and they have to revamp it in a much more detailed fashion than they are even talking about right now.”

Paul said that any deal that Congress and President Barack Obama agree on will be “very temporary.”

“I think there will be something, but it will be very temporary, it won’t be long lasting and restore confidence and fix the problem,” Paul said. “But there will be some type of reconciliation of saying we’ll do this and a little of that and it may even help the financial markets for a little while, but since it won’t solve the problems it will only be temporary.”

Last week, Paul told Bloomberg Television that the country had already fallen off the fiscal cliff.

Sorry your party rejected you as their candidate but you were elected to do a bloody job. Be a LEADER and start the discussions. Negotiations are hard but there is room for common ground and compromise.

I could take 200 random people across the country and do a better job than this Congress in getting our fiscal house in order.

Yes there will be painful cuts. Yes there will be take increase. The idea is too SOLVE the problem quickly. When we get a surplus again then you can re-evaluate your financial house.

I'm sorry, but why on Earth would anybody in their right mind give a rip about what Ron Paul has to say?? Really?? We're still tuning into anarcho capitalists?? Hey Libertarians..... Wheres the hyperinflation?? I just bought a tall can of beer for $1.50... It's a lttl tough to do that with a hyperinflated dollar... Maybe you and you're little club haven't the slightest clue what you've been talking about??

I couldn't agree with you more. For SOOOOOOME reason, this clown really made an impression on young people, and unfortunately, alot of kids in my generation have bought into the End the Fed, anti fractional reserve BS.... In any case, I've had to explain over and over how Libertarianism really works and how it's basicly the rich man propaganda of the Republicans and Democrats (most outspokenly the GOP) on steroids. But yes, I agree, thank goodness this old goon is out... Now if only his supporters would disappear XD

I am really getting tired of politicans saying we cant do that---they ought to get the boot if they say it 3 times or more. I really want to hear them saying yes we can--oh wait--the Dems say that all the time.

Some hilarious comments above. Yes, why would anyone want to listen to what Ron Paul has to say?

It is not as if he correctly predicted the Housing Bubble at a time when every other politician in both parties and 99% of non-austrian economists were completely clueless and taken by surprise, right?

It is not as if he correctly said ahead of time that Iraq did not have WMDs, and it was just an excuse to invade and occupy while clowns like Hillary and Bush pushed ahead, right?

Instead, let's listen to the people who keep increasing the and spending of the government every year even after promising to do something about it "next time." You know, those same people who were completely shocked by the blowback of their intervention in the middle east, the same people who have given the President the authority to indefinitely detain and assassinate US citizens based upon secret kill lists, the same people who are doing drone strikes on civilians overseas and act shocked that those nations have rabid anti-american movements, the same people who were completely shocked and surprised at the 2007/8 housing collapse, and the same people who keep voting to raise the debt limit every year because they can't stop spending.

Nothing is "rich man's propaganda" - whatever that means - than the establishment quo of the Fed bailing out every rich man's company whenever they get in trouble with taxpayer dollars.

As far as inflation, we would be at around 10% rate right now if we had not changed the standards that had been used to track this in the days of Carter being President. I also really don't think you want to attack the austrians when it comes to predictions - the mainstream keyensians were hilariously wrong about seeing the 07/08 collapse coming and completely shocked. Their predictions on what the stimulus attempts would do were also horribly wrong.

As someone with ties to the restaurant industry and agriculture, anyone who follows prices there would literally laugh in your face if you suggested there has not been an increase in inflation. When it can be helped, such as in restaurants, the answer has been to decrease portion and quality of things like the meat since most people don't notice this change, while they do notice price increases. It is just a drop in the bucket, however, compared to what will happen when the banks start loaning out all of the excess reserves the banks are sitting on thanks to the various QE attempts that failed miserably. Once those start getting loaned out, inflation will increase far more.

Wait, so you mean the people who were mistreated horribly and had their votes and delegates stolen with the GOP breaking its own rules repeatedly against the Paul people, and even some potential delegates who suffered physical injuries were not supporters of Romney? Shocking! It is hilarious to see the GOP neo-cons who mistreated Ron Paul and his supporters not realize that had they at least given him a fair shake and embraced some of his ideas that they would have won this election. Paul had more GOP primary votes alone in the big swing states than the difference by what Obama won to give Romney the win - but the GOP wants to do anything but admit they were wrong by stripping delegates and votes away to the point that even the Maine governor refused to attend the convention.

Almost all of the Paul people just sat home, with a small amount voting for Johnson. Neo-cons and the GOP hacks will never admit that their treatment of Paul was one of the biggest reasons that Romney received less votes than even McCain.

Republicans need to learn that intervention and behavior has results, whether it is with healthcare, the economy, foreign policy, or how primary candidates are treated.

Some of you people don't seem to grasp context - Paul is saying that neither side ever offers specifics cuts and a specific plan in the short term. Paul is the only one who has because both the Dems and the GOP offer long drawn out projections that don't actually cut anything while basing their projections on some ridiculous assumptions like interest rates staying low and revenue being at certain levels. Neither side wants to face political consequences from their donors or voters for actually cutting spending, so nothing of substance will get done. Raising taxes is touted as the answer by the Dems, but that won't change much at all if spending continues to increase at the levels they are at, not to mention how many more people will be on entitlement programs in the future until now.

There's a Man who unfortunately know's what he is talking about . I do not agree with everything he has to say ? None the less he put's up a well grounded well informed coherent argument .

Unlike Madd Liberal's and the Republican silver spoon's .

So who want's to bett there fiscal future that Ron Paul is wrong ? Put your money where your mouth is ?

There will be no meaningfull resolution between the Repub's and the Dim's regarding the fiscal Cliff . Just as this Good Man has told you ! Any agreement reached in this regard will be for appearance sake only . Therefore of no long term consequential value to either side .

There is in fact a movement within the Dimocrat's to move torward's World Globilization . World Market's being about the only acceptable solution to a World economy . It has been and will continue to alway's be . As the effort to expand World market's is what Columbus was doing when he stumbled into the Americas / Carribean as far back as 1492 etc. etc. Silk Road etc. etc.

How ever it is the Dim's intent to Globalize the World by mean's of Globalizeing world economie's and Sovereign jurisdiction under U.N. treaty law . This is the Apocalyptic one World Goverment as prophed and described as most of us have come to know it.

However if you are an secular Atheistic Goddless bleep of the earth and have chosen to ignore scripture as are good Liberal Comrade Dimnocrat's have conciously chosen to do .

Then maybe you might ask yourselves a question ? The question being. What happen's when you place the control of all the World's nuclear technology under the complete jurisdiction, of a collective committee of a one World Goverment ?

" Power corrupt's ! Absolute Power. Absolutely corrupt's ! "

Yupp last I checked ? Nuclear Bomb's were kind of hard on the World's Enviroment as well . Not to mention the human tragedy of Mankind .

Prior to the beginning of World War 2 Republican's preached Isolationism . Theodore went behind there back's and supplied Arm's etc. Thank God he did this or we would most probably speak Japaneese or German .

Isolationism was the wrong path then . However this doesnt mean it's the wrong path now . As to wich Philosophy make's better sense ? World Globalization or Isolationism ? Who would know ? As both the Repub's and the Dim's have refused to vette this debate entirely .

Instead they pose to be in continous conflict one against the other both reflecting the true extreme's of both spectrum's . Where we the common man are constantly caught in the middle of the turmoil of the extreme's of both spectrum's .

A simple Stratagem of . " Divide and Conquer ! " Being practiced by both party's ! Therefore We the people's best course of action is to break the gripp of both party's standoff with a third party . The Tea Party ! Where the American dream still live's on .

As to the Repub's ? I would only remind you that in the chooseing of the lesser of two evil's . " The Enemy of my Enemy is my Friend ! " ( Julius Caesar )

But then the Dim's couldnt strategize there way out of a paper sack except to Demonize and slander, and decieve the people of there true intent . Rogue Scholar being the more accurate description of this so called American President .

It really come's down to this . Do you wish to be ruled in the oppression of a one World Regime . Or do you wish a Goverment by the people , of the people, for the people ? In one Nation under God Indivisible with Liberty and Justice for all ?

Repub's would be wise to embrace the Tea Party and the Party of Ron Paul . Those purist who refuse to do so ? ( Can simply look up your own qoute's. And research your own history .) On the ground's that were just not that good of friend's .

Your greed in wanting cheap labor and to drive wage's down in America by allowing the Border to remain open . Has backfired in your face's and has cost you the true American vote . Most probably this election as well . Of what your greed has brought this upon your country, and yourselves .

To budge or budget. Who to trust or believe? September, the end of the 2012 USA fiscal year, saw a slight budget surplus, shrinking the year's total deficit to just over a crushing $1 Trillion. Then, oops, October(the trick or treat month) and start of a new fiscal year, saw a reversal -- staggering $120 billion deficit for the month. Who the hell is running the USA anyway: the Caligula family?
